Trust me, i killed the 1.6, so time to build my 2.0 blacktop from a focus!
Little bit of modding required on the mounts will explain in pics.
Cleaned bare block. Lightly honed and ready too go
New ACL bearings
Make sure you thoughroly (SP) clean every thing, i almost left this trace of old bearing in the cap.
New bearings in caps
Rear Mounting bracket, had to be drilled out and can only accept 2 bolts. I am working on a better fix!
Clean crank
Crank in block
Caps on and torqued up.
New rings
Pistons going in
Hard to see in photo but the is a number on it, 2 i think. Number 2 means cylinder 2, (1,3,4 respectively) this number is only on one side on conrod and cap, and goes closest to the front of the block.
Pistons in!
Oil pump and new crank seal
MLS Victor Rienze head gasket. OE fitted to VAG so should be good
Water pump inlet, totally different to zetec.
Waterpump housing
Water Pump seal. IIRC this was quite expensive! bout £8!
And shes on!
This is a zetec non PAS alternator/engine mounting bracket. Its hard to tell, but alot has had to come of it to make it fit. It majorly fouled the water pump housing. See next pic.
Looks tight?
It bloody dam is!
Lots had to come of the clear the housing here too.
Breather and new gasket
And shes on.
More will come as this is as far as ive got.
Had an issue with the silvertop sump in that you can't fit the oil baffle plate. It attaches via the maincap bolts. I thought this wont be a problem as il just use four bolts from the silvertop caps. How ever due to the design in the blacktop sump, the blacktop main caps are very short and the bolts from the silvertop is too long. I PMed DALSY, and he said hes used the silvertop sump with no baffle, however i feel that it should be there. So im using the blacktop sump (which i must admit has a much better baffle and is 2 piece)
This has had to be modded. Will post up pics. It fouls the driveshaft and theres no room for starter, so alot has had to be grinded off. (not as bad as what it sounds!)
